INSTALLATION

•  Make sure that all four feet are stable and 

resting on the floor.

NOTE

•  Do not install the washing machine on a plinth, 

stand or elevated surface unless it is 

manufactured by LG Electronics for use with this 

model.

2

Check if the appliance is perfectly level using a 

spirit level 

a

.

3

Secure the levelling feet with the lock nuts 

b

 

by turning anti-clockwise against the bottom of 

the appliance.

4

Check if all lock nuts at the bottom of the 

appliance are secured properly.

NOTE

•  Proper placement and levelling of the appliance 

will ensure long, regular, and reliable operation.

•  The appliance must be 100% horizontal and 

stand firmly in position on a hard flat floor.

•  It must not ‘Seesaw’ across corners under the 

load.

•  Do not let the feet of the appliance get wet. 

Failure to do so may cause vibration or noise.

Using Anti-Slip Sheets

This feature may vary depending on the model 

purchased.
If you install the appliance on a slippery surface, it 

may move because of excessive vibration. 

Incorrect levelling may cause malfunction through 

noise and vibration. If this occurs, install the anti-

slip sheets under the levelling feet and adjust the 

level.

1

Clean the floor to attach the anti-slip sheets.
•  Use a dry rag to remove and clean foreign 

objects and moisture. If moisture remains, 

the anti-slip sheets may slip.

2

Adjust the level after placing the appliance in 

the installation area.
